Any three counties owners?
Discussion
Hi,
I am possibly coming to a point where TVR ownership is finally realistic for me. I have lusted after a TVR for many, many years.
To me, I would prefer a V8. With my tight budget, I would be looking at a Chimaera at the bottom end of £5-6,000.
What I would really appreciate though, and I hope that one of you may be able to help me, is for a Chimaera owner near/in the Bedfordshire area to let me have a look at your Chimaera. It would help me if you are able to give me a quick run down of points to look for (I learn with visual aids!
) and any advice for me.
I would, of course, be willing to pay for fuel and bacon (Depending on where you would like to meet) for your time.
I will not be in a position to go for a Chimaera until the spring so this would just be pure preparation!
Alternatively, I should be going along to the Sunday Service at Goodwood in December if you would be happy to talk to me there.
Hope that someone can help me, thank you.

I may be at the Goodwood meet, if so come and say hello and I will give you a run down of the car.
My one was cheap and I can certainly tell what i have had to fix, i think buying a cheaper one and spending some money getting it up to scratch is a viable option if not better in some respects

If you can make it as far as Buckingham you are welcome to have a look at mine.
It's not for sale but I have had it for over 5 years and I know my way round the thing mechanically and electrically.
As it lives in the top bunk of a four-post ramp you can walk right underneath and take a look at the underside. I'll show you where the chassis can rot .
PM me
Cheers

Thanks guys. I didn't see the Herts/Beds local meet until too late to pop along on Sunday, but I shall nip over to the next one. I should be going to Goodwood as well!
